The Good Behavior Game (GBG) is an evidence-based classroom management strategy that teachers use to help students develop skills, including teamwork and self-regulation. Long-term benefits include pro-socialization effects such as reducing violent and aggressive behaviors, bullying, substance abuse, and suicide ideation or attempts.
GBG is implemented in elementary classrooms, and, as a strategy rather than a curriculum, it aligns well with positive behavioral interventions and supports (PBIS) systems. Students work individually or in groups on a task or activity in any content area.
Contact Sonia if your school is interested in learning more!

Time and Effort Support – All Federal Grants
Contact: Tom Goeschel (402-471-3571 or tom.goeschel@nebraska.gov)
Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) requires an employee whose salary and wages are supported, in whole or in part, with Federal funds to document his/her time spent working on Federal programs in order to ensure charges to each Federal program reflect an accurate account of the employee’s time and effort devoted to that program. The CFR addresses two types of documentation: semiannual certifications and personnel activity reports.
All Federal grants (IDEA, Title, Perkins, Homeless, Migrant, Early Childhood, etc.) that claim salaries/wages for reimbursement are required to have time and effort logs with their final submission. Failure to comply with this regulation is non-compliance with Federal grant requirements and can result in the funding required to be returned. When the school districts and ESU’s applied for these funds you also agreed to comply with the Federal regulations that goes with these types of funds.
Time and Effort logs must be supported with the NSSRS Staff Reporting system using the appropriate instructional SPI Code-Position Assignment. The deadline for the updating the NSSRS Staff Reporting system is June 30.
